Currently, the bionic robotic fish is primarily devoted to the bionic appearance of fish and rarely involves the bionic swimming posture. However, biological studies have proved that fish have extraordinary swimming ability, so it is necessary to imitate...

Drones have become increasingly popular tools to study marine megafauna but are underutilized in batoid research. We used drones to collect video data of manta ray (Mobula cf. birostris) swimming and assessed behavior-specific kinematics in Kinovea, a se...

To precisely control the manta ray robot and improve its swimming and turning speed, the hydrodynamic parameters corresponding to different motion control variables must be tested experimentally. In practice, too many input control parameters will bring ...

The current development of manta ray robots is usually based on functional bionics, and there is a lack of bionic research to enhance the similarity of motion posture. To better exploit the characteristics of bionic, a similarity evaluation rule is const...

Compared with traditional underwater equipment powered by propeller, the manta-ray-inspired vehicle with MPF mode (Median fin/paired fin) has the advantages of stable swimming attitude, high maneuverability, and low noise, etc. As one of the sources of a...

The manta ray, exemplifying an agile swimming mode identified as the median and paired fin (MPF) mode, inspired the development of underwater robots. Robotic manta typically comprises a central rigid body and flexible pectoral fins. Flexible fins provide...

Collective motion is a unique biological habit of manta rays. As the most basic unit, the hydrodynamic mechanism of tandem gliding deserves further study. In this paper, a numerical simulation method was used to explore the influence of the front-to-back...
